Boy ... I'll say this thread went south in a hurry.

I've heard of stories where babies are used to carry drugs in their diapers.... the same could be said for some 80-year old men and women. Why should senior citizens be exempted from random searches? I didn't know that once someone became a senior citizen, it got them a free pass when it comes to security. Blue-eyed Seniors can be carrying weapons or dangerous instruments as accomplices to terrorists too. I was chosen at random at Newark airport on the way to Tunica for the body search ... and my wife Brenda was chosen at Chicago for a similar search. I'm glad that the security people are doing their jobs at the airports. Maybe some of these security procedures will be relaxed after some of the world's terrorists are eliminated and life as an American citizen can go back to what it once was ... although I doubt it. The good old days are behind us. Nothing stays like it was.
